The GET_PATH administration method returns the directory location of a content file stored in a distributed storage area.

Any user can run GET_PATH.

To run the GET_PATH administration method:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Job Management > Administration Methods.

    The system displays the Administration Methods list page.

  2. Click GET_PATH.

    The system displays the Parameters page.

  3. Type in a comma-delimited list of the content object IDs of the content files whose paths you want.

  4. If you do not know the content object IDs, click Select Object(s).

    The system displays the Select Object(s) page.

    1. Select an object type from the Select From drop-down list.

    2. To further restrict the search, provide a Where clause.

    3. To display all versions, select Use all versions.
